Error description

-When sending messages with a return receipt request thru iron
port, checkpoint firewall. Message are reformatted and loose
fidelity / appearance of original message.

being reformatted by the firewall and loosing the formatting of
the message.
-Thsi only happens when return receipts are requested.
-The return receipt feature is disabled in the configuration
document and disposition notification to is not present in the
header.
-However, it is only these messages that are malformed when
sending thru a firewall.
-I cannot reproduce this behavior where I do not have a
firewall to run my messages thru.

along with STFiles that are attached to the SPR.

Local fix

Do not use return receipts when sending messages thru the
firewall.
